October Night

        October Night

‘Tis a moonlit night

The moon is just high above my head

I’m on the rooftop of my rented house

The wind from all sides blowing gently

So cool and mild the weather is !

This is October

Month of winter-begin in India

Night comes colder every night

How fresh my mind and thoughts

After taking bath I come up here.

Putting my fan on in my room

But I prefer to be here on the rooftop

Coz the gently wind that breeze

With the moon above is calm and rapture.

Nature contrast to man-made

Wordsworth or whoever may say

Now I say and feel: nature, natural

Perfect is all that He made.

Lalpa, hnemtu nang hung la,

Kumkhuo in kan kuoma um zing rawh.

I thang naw chun thla kan invai,

Nang kan kuoma um zing rawh.

Nang I um chun Lalpa,

Lusun beidawngna hai khawm,

Nang kan kuoma I um chun.

Hraichawihai ta dingin Lalpa,

Chunnu hnemthiem hung inchang la;

Nang I um chun, Lalpa

Buoina sum zing an kieng hlak;

Nang ngei I um chun,

Hrailenghai hung vur la;

Hnuoi rinum ram khawm ni sien,

Hlimtakin in leng tir rawh Lalpa.

I nina ngei inhriettir la:

Nang ngei an hriet che a,

Nang an kuoma I um bawk chun,

Muongte’n leng ngei an tih.
